Change dispersion graph axes using filters

Good, I'm working on a personal report.

I have the question about how the axes of the scatter plot can be changed with filters.

That is, every time I want to make a comparison on my scatter plot, I don't have to make a new graph and change the variables of the axes.

Greetings.

Hi @Syndicate_Admin 

 

You are using the same measure on X axis and Y axis of the scatter plot chart. When in a visual, both axises are affected by the same filters outside, so the measure returns a single value ideally.

In your case, if you want to use two slicers to affect the X axis and Y axis individually, you can use two measures, for example, [0_SELECT VALOR X] and [0_SELECT VALOR Y]. Use two independent measures tables to feed two measures and two slicers. Then both measures will be affected by the relevant slicer separately and return different values.

@Syndicate_Admin , As the Axis on scatter plot, are numeric /measures, You can use measure slicer to control that

Good again,

I don't know if it's my poor command of the language and my very basic level of Powerbi, but I can't fully understand the explanations.

I think I do have the filters well, but when I change the variable and show it to me in the Scatter Plot, it gives me the same value on the X Axis and on the Y Axis.... and as much as I have tried I can not find out.

I leave some screenshots of what I have done:

That's what I've done and I'm not quite sure it's not even right 😅

Thanks a lot.

I edit to add that I think I have the error in the SCATTER GRAPH, because as I add in the following screenshot, the filters and the values of X axis and Y axis are fine as shown in the tables, but I can not understand because in the scatter plot it shows me in the same value on the two axes.

Thanks a lot.
